Week Thirty-One

In Week Thirty-One of the competition we had a total of 6 players that picked up the highest score of 8 goals each. But under the competition rules, we can only have the maximum of four winners, so we will have our fifth Rollover of the season next weekend worth £10. 

Our top scorers this weekend were STEVE AYRES, ANDY EYLES, STUART KEMP (2), CHRIS NUNN, GRAHAM PHILLIPS and our 2007/08 Champion RICKY WOOD. 

100 MIDWEEK GOALS JACKPOT

All of us have managed to pick up a hand full of goal this week and the race for the cash has changed again this week. The highest amount of goals collected this week came from two of our players with 12 goals each. They are ANDREW HAMMOND with Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City. SCOTT THOMSON (1) with Liverpool, Manchester City and Notts County.
